*The "Special Edition" version of the ''Star Wars'' trilogy uses the modified 1954 recording of the fanfare as played by the 20th Century Fox Studio Orchestra and conductor Alfred Newman, and the 1980/83 recording of the fanfare as played by the London Symphony Orchestra and conductor John Williams, respectively. New arrangements of John Williams' fanfare were used on the ''Star Wars'' prequel films. Oddly, the [[VideoVan Entertainment|VideoVan]] VCD print of ''The Phantom Menace'' uses the normal logo with 1994 fanfare, but the last half of the Star Wars recording can faintly be heard on the [[Lucasfilm Ltd.|LucasFilm]] logo. | *The "Special Edition" version of the ''Star Wars'' trilogy uses the modified 1954 recording of the fanfare as played by the 20th Century Fox Studio Orchestra and conductor Alfred Newman, and the 1980/83 recording of the fanfare as played by the London Symphony Orchestra and conductor John Williams, respectively.

*There is a short version of the 1997 fanfare. The only films to use it are ''The Darjeeling Limited'' with the short version of the [[Searchlight Pictures|Fox Searchlight Pictures]] logo and Marilyn Monroe's unfinished project ''Something's Got to Give'' (1962) with the 2nd logo. This was also used on the final [[20th Century Fox Home Entertainment]] logo. | *There is a short version of the 1997 fanfare.

*On some prints of ''Speed'' and the first two ''Die Hard'' films, the 1981-1994 fanfare is heard due to plastering the 4th logo.

* On ''Anastasia'' (the 1997 fanfare's debut film), ''Ever After: A Cinderella Story'', some dubs of ''X2: X-Men United'', and ''Joy Ride 3: Roadkill'', the fanfare has a different arrangement than the one that's currently used. This was also conducted by David Newman. | *On ''Anastasia'' (the 1997 fanfare's debut film), ''Ever After: A Cinderella Story'', some dubs of ''X2: X-Men United'', and ''Joy Ride 3: Roadkill'', the fanfare has a different arrangement than the one that's currently used.

*On Asian Blu-ray releases of ''Robots'', if the Mainland Chinese 2.0 track is selected, the logo (and the rest of the film) is in PAL-pitch despite being presented in its original film frame rate (notice the audio stuttering from the time stretch used). This is possibly due to it being sourced from TV broadcasts of the film when shown in China, since PAL is the country's video standard there. | *On Asian Blu-ray releases of ''Robots'', if the Mainland Chinese 2.0 track is selected, the logo (and the rest of the film) is in PAL-pitch despite being presented in its original film frame rate (notice the audio stuttering from the time stretch used).
